Back in the rented room, Shen Mengxi began to anxiously wait for Wang Shouqing's good news, fidgeting all day.

Fortunately, the next day, Wang Shouqing called, saying that there was still a first-class cabin that had not been sold, and Shen Mengxi shouted again and again: "I want it, I want it!" I'm going to have both! ”

"Then I'll ask my friend to book a ticket, and the ship to France at two o'clock in the afternoon on the 20th, we might as well go together."

"Okay, okay, we'll see you at the dock then!"

Shen Mengxi was very happy, quickly packed his luggage, and rushed to London to buy a lot of coffee, chocolate, and a lot of clothes and shoes, as well as a lot of clothes for boys around ten years old, as well as two large suitcases.

On the morning of the 19th, Shen Mengxi rushed to say goodbye to Mrs. Jones, but this time the red-haired girl did not come out to hug her, and hid in the room and did not come out at all.

On the 20th, Shen Mengxi took three big boxes and rented a car to the port of London, and it was easy to find Wang Shouqing in the crowd, which was different from Xu Shizhe's tone at the beginning, it was a cold and hard military temperament, Shen Mengxi secretly praised in his heart.

Shen Mengxi hired someone to take the luggage onto the ship as usual, but Wang Shouqing's luggage was very small, a medium-sized suitcase, which he said was only his clothes and books, as well as gifts for his wife.

Shen Mengxi didn't expect to meet Wilson in France, getting off the boat in Dunkirk, Shen Mengxi was still waiting for luggage, and saw that he also got off the boat, this guy still ran around with one arm hanging on his arm, he could be called a workaholic, seeing Shen Mengxi, Wilson was very excited, kept asking her about her current situation, and thanked her for her treatment.

Shen Mengxi introduced him and Wang Shouqing. As soon as Wilson heard about Wang Shouqing's identity, he became more energetic and began to show Chinese. His eyes lit up, and he didn't know which business he thought of again.

Knowing that Shen Mengxi was about to change to a cruise ship to return to China, Wilson regretted that he could not travel with her again, and Shen Mengxi also said with great regret: "I really miss my son, otherwise I would have waited for the cruise ship in London." ”

Wilson probably also knew Shen Mengxi's worries, and whispered in German: "The Earl's injury is no longer serious; Frank went back that day and cried and looked for you everywhere; The Countess was sick, very serious, and was locked up in the house by the Count. I heard that he had abused Frank in the past and killed several servants. ”

Shen Mengxi secretly complained in her heart, she knew that this was the case, why not finish her studies and then return to China, it was not her style to give up halfway.

Wilson smiled and said, "I'll try to ask the Earl to help you mediate, and maybe you can get your diploma and degree." ”

Shen Mengxi was very happy and thanked Wilson again and again.

Wilson was still going to Paris, so he hurriedly asked for Shen Mengxi's address and left with his servant.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Shen Mengxi apologized to Wang Shouqing, who was still waiting next to him.

"It's okay." Wang Shouqing looked at Shen Mengxi and said, "I just remembered that you should be the sister of Brother Jiasen and the ex-wife of Shizhe." ”

Shen Mengxi's expression froze, the address she just said was the second brother's. This hasn't returned to China yet, has the gossip already started in person?

"I don't mean anything else, Shizhe is a person of personality...... He's in a hot fight with my wife right now, and no one can break them up. Wang Shouqing looked pained.

Shen Mengxi was dumbfounded, stretched out his finger and pointed at Wang Shouqing and stammered, "You, your wife is Lu Xiaomei?" ”

"Heh, even you know about them." Wang Shouqing was a little gloomy, "Some time ago, Shizhe hid in Europe, and as a result, they wrote letters every day, but it became more difficult to distinguish between life and death, and Shizhe returned to China and published a collection of their letters. Hehe. ”

Shen Mengxi also smiled, this is something Xu Shizhe can do.

"How did you agree to the divorce in the first place?" Wang Shouqing asked apologetically.

"At that time, he pursued Miss Lin Huiya, and now he pursues Lu Xiaomei, in short, there is no me in his heart, what do I want him to do with a shell and a name? Over the years, I don't know how comfortable I am! Shen Mengxi said indifferently.

Wang Shouqing smiled bitterly and said: "I don't have a female streamer who can think clearly. ”

Shen Mengxi shrugged, "Love is maintained by resistance, the more they are not favored, the more they are hindered by many parties, the more they feel that their love is earth-shattering, they want to die or live, the more they feel that they are Liangshan Bozhu Yingtai, Romeo Juliet, once the resistance is gone, it will be boring in two months." Haha, have you ever heard a sentence, "How can such a good man bear to turn him into a husband!" ", close relatives to distant husband and wife, people are close, and everything they see is faulty!"

Wang Shouqing looked at Shen Mengxi who was talking in amazement, Shizhe said that his wife was a country bun, and now this woman who is talking nonsense and laughing heartily is really Shizhe's ex-wife?

Shen Mengxi sent a telegram to the second brother, saying his boarding date and ship number, and asked them to pick up the station.

The next day, Shen Mengxi boarded the Viscount and finally embarked on the road back to China.

Along the way, Shen Mengxi spent most of his time meditating, reading, or sorting out the space items, and eliminated the items that were not suitable for the Republic of China into nine grids to avoid unnecessary trouble. After sorting out the food, sausages, and medicines that she has purchased in the UK and Germany over the years, and putting them together with the relief materials in the past, life experience has taught her that it is really okay to be prepared.

The Viscount was a little faster than the original cruise ship that came to England, it did not have to dock as often, except for the necessary supplies, and headed for Shanghai at full speed.

The boring journey made Shen Mengxi and Wang Shouqing gradually familiar. In the past, Shen Mengxi only knew Lu Xiaomei, and didn't know who her ex-husband was. This young man can be regarded as having an extraordinary experience, he graduated from Tsinghua University, escorted to the United States, studied at the University of Michigan, Columbia University, Princeton University, and transferred to West Point, graduating with the fourteenth place in his grade; He also accompanied him at the Paris Peace Conference as a military attaché; the rank of Major General; He is currently the director of the Harbin Municipal Police Department.

At the age of thirty, to achieve this level, part of it is his own ability, and part of it is the help of the Yue family.

His personality is a little old-fashioned, and he will definitely not be as sweet and poetic as Xu Shizhe, as soon as he divorces Lu Xiaomei, his career will definitely be affected, and the hard days will probably begin.

Shen Mengxi met a French friend named Laura on the ship. Bourgeva, her husband is a military attache at the French Embassy in China. They met while walking on the splint, Laura didn't want to get acquainted with Chinese, but she was really bored, and saw Shen Mengxi dressed fashionably, with a generous and confident expression, she couldn't help but chat a few words in English, and it turned out that she could also speak French, Shen Mengxi could find an opportunity to practice speaking French, and the two chatted for an hour.

When I came back, I found that I lived in a first-class cabin, which was not far away, and Laura was even closer to Shen Mengxi, and once she had a temper with her husband and lived in Shen Mengxi's cabin.

The smell of perfume on Laura's body is too strong, they are chatting on the deck or in the dining room, if it is in a small cabin, after a few minutes, Shen Mengxi will have a headache, that night Laura came to borrow, she stuffed her nostrils with cotton balls before falling asleep, and in the days to come, she tried her best to mediate their husband and wife relationship, for fear that she would come to live again.

When the ship arrived in Shanghai, it was already spring.

The dock was crowded, the Chinese on the boat began to cheer, and some children began to jump to their feet.

Shen Mengxi sighed softly, returning to this land, he will no longer be free in Europe. She took another deep breath of air and smiled at the crowd at the dock, all of them were oriental faces, and a feeling of coming home arose.

She saw her second brother Zhang Jiasen, who was wearing a suit and holding his hands behind his back in a reserved manner, obviously he had already seen her, but he refused to wave his hand first.

Zhang Jiasen had attended the Chinese delegation to the Paris Peace Conference with Liang Renfu in his personal capacity, and Wang Shouqing was very familiar with each other, this time, the two hugged warmly, Shen Mengxi introduced Mr. Bourgeva, Zhang Jiasen happily waved his hand: Tonight, Golden Gate Hotel, pick up the wind and wash the dust!

During the dinner, there was an extra woman next to Zhang Jiasen, who was very beautiful, wearing a new-style modified cheongsam, and she looked very knowledgeable. Zhang Jiasen said that it was Huang Shiying, who graduated from Beijing Women's Normal University.

The fourth brother Zhang Jiaxuan came alone, saying that the fourth sister-in-law was at home with two children, and asked her to wait and go back with him, his house was big, so he didn't want to live in the second brother's house. Shen Mengxi nodded obediently.

Everyone talked very enthusiastically during the banquet, including Mr. Bourzheva, who has been in China for three years and speaks Chinese well, only Laura does not understand Chinese, and when everyone laughs, she has to translate for Shen Mengxi to laugh slowly.

"Miss Jiayu, you should be my Chinese tutor, otherwise I will be suffocated in China!" Laura took Shen Mengxi's hand and said.

"Okay, if you help me find a house in the French Concession, I will let you publish articles in the newspaper in Chinese!" Shen Mengxi said half-truthfully.

"What's so hard about that, isn't it Alva?"

Bourzheva thought for a moment, "It's not impossible. ”

Laura immediately laughed and kissed her husband on the cheek, and the two stared affectionately, which made the people at the table blush.

"Laura, try this Buddha jumping over the wall, this is the most expensive dish in China." Shen Mengxi hurriedly reminded Laura, lest they make more outrageous moves.

Laura took a bite of the soup and was amazed, "There is such a delicious thing in the world!" Alva! You are so good to bring me to China! Can I eat this Buddha jumping over the wall every day in the future? ”

How did this simple young French lady know the time and price of this dish?

Shen Mengxi laughed and said in Chinese: "Mr. Bourjewa, I'm sorry, my second brother's tone is a little high today, I'm afraid that Mrs. Zun's diet will be a big problem for you in the future!" ”

And they all laughed.

Laura was so anxious that she asked Shen Mengxi to translate quickly, and everyone couldn't help laughing again.

Zhang Jiasen asked Wang Shouqing about his experience in going to Europe, and also asked about his sister's situation.

Knowing that Shen Mengxi and Countess Ludwig had met, Bourgeva showed a meaningful expression, "She is the last branch of the Carolingian family, and many people in their family suffer from a disease and have a bad temper. ”

Shen Mengxi smiled and nodded, agreeing. Bourzeva said no more.

A sumptuous reception banquet lasted for more than three hours, and the guests and hosts were happy and returned happy.
